@NIcholas Hamel no it's just a fancy credit card but you can pull out pure cash.

I will say that my one pure turnkey property is my best cash-flower.

The stock market is a purely passive investment.

It's a purely greedy grab by government and it makes me uncomfortable.

This helps me think about the RE I buy in pure investment terms.

I have a lot of friends from college that rave about them, and I've been considering purchasing 2 townhomes in the $400k range (one as a principal residence while househacking, the other as purely a rental property); however, a good majority of the townhomes I've seen listed have had numerous price reductions, with some having an asking price nearly $100k lower than their original asking price!

Or is it going to be just pure criticism and general advise of "start reading and networking"?

IT allows you to get owner occupied interest rates, lower money down etc.And honestly you can go with a little higher valuation than a pure investor, because its your house, and the risk is a lot lower for the same reason.  

There are people that enjoy working on their properties and are better suited for self managing and should be self managing.I would say to get a manger if you are purely doing it for the cost savings and find additional investments.A part time employee could be a good solution since you know your properties. 

I found mine by pure chance.
